Food was extremely bland not like typical Vietnamese food. Employee taking our order was also rude.

This restaurant includes a lot of unreasonable rules. They don’t respect you at all.

The soup was good although not very generous for my taste.
On the other hand, very expeditious servers and above all: do not rely on payment in cash only, the QR codes on the tables allow us to pay directly with our credit card: they are hiding from telling you this.

The rice noodles soup is very ordinary, not as delicious as many rice noodles I have eaten in Australia and the UK before; the noodles themselves taste good, but it is a pity that they are thin noodles; the meat does not seem to taste too amazing, and overall I will not want to visit again

I had the pho with brisket, raw beef, and beef meatballs. The brisket was the most flavorful, and I'd either get that by itself or get that with the raw beef in the future. Overall the pho was good, but not great, and I wasn't crazy about the atmosphere and the service wasn't totally mean or totally friendly either. The pieces of meat were way too big to eat in single bites, and so I found myself splitting them apart with my hands, but the broth was also way too hot (and much hotter than usual pho) so it was a less than wonderful experience overall.

Food is good. Broth is not as warm so meat takes forever to cook. Cash only. Waiters are pretty passive aggressive

The food was great with decent price. But the server(middle-aged woman) was extremely rude all the time without any reason. Never answered and just threw all the things. Definitely doesn’t deserve tips😡

I would give higher rating if the broth was piping hot and if there were more side condiments. Tiny portion of bean sprout and just 1 or 2 sprigs of green.

Location is great and very busy with lots of students.

Our family has been dining for the last few years. Mainly pho. Always liked high quality of the soup and meat but the recent visit last weekend was very disappointing with increased price yet lowered quality of the food. Pho wasn't as good as it used to be. Can't recommend any longer.

Update from today. My family visited again today to have pho. It was great with quality meat as well as the soup tasting complex and deep flavors as good pho should. The service was great. We were all satisfied.

Small and cozy Viet spot. Food was served very quickly. Got the grilled pork chop pho and classic beef pho. I was pleasantly surprised that the grill pork chop was nice and tender. The broth was light and matched the grill pork chop nicely. Can’t go wrong with the classic beef pho.
Note: this place is cash only.
